6. Identifying and Responding to Unanticipated Problems. Involving Risks to Subjects. Suspension or Termination of 麻豆精品视频 IRB Approval.
   1. Primary responsibility for the conduct of research in accordance with 麻豆精品视频 IRB approval rests with the researcher. Researchers of activities for which 麻豆精品视频 IRB review and action are required must report to the 麻豆精品视频 IRB any unanticipated problems involving risks to subjects or to others in those activities. Researchers must also report to the 麻豆精品视频 IRB any proposed changes in approved research, during the period for which 麻豆精品视频 IRB approval has already been given. No such changes may be initiated without 麻豆精品视频 IRB review and approval except when necessary to eliminate apparent immediate hazards to the human subjects of the research activities. Any approval letter to a researcher shall remind the investigator of this obligation, but this obligation cannot be relieved by the absence of such a reminder. At the time of continuing review, all reports of unanticipated problems involving risks to subjects or others must also be summarized in the investigator's progress report for review by the 麻豆精品视频 IRB.
   2. If deemed necessary by the 麻豆精品视频 IRB, verification from sources other than the investigator may be solicited to ensure that no material changes in the research have occurred since previous 麻豆精品视频 IRB review. Reasons for such independent verification include, but are not limited to: (i) complex research projects involving unusual levels or types of risks to subjects; (ii) research projects conducted by investigators who have previously failed to comply with 麻豆精品视频 IRB requirements; (iii) research projects where concern about possible material changes without 麻豆精品视频 IRB approval has been raised upon information received in investigator reports or from other sources.
   3. All employees of the institution (other than those legally barred from doing so) must promptly report to the 麻豆精品视频 IRB any information of which they are aware regarding unanticipated problems involving risks to human subjects or others and regarding serious and continuing noncompliance with the requirements of these Policies and Procedures and the stipulations of the 麻豆精品视频 IRB.
   4. Upon receipt of any such information, the 麻豆精品视频 IRB will assess the information reported and associated 麻豆精品视频 IRB records and take timely and appropriate actions regarding the information, including suspension of the research pending resolution of the unanticipated problems or noncompliance by the researcher as provided in 45 CFR 46.113. All such decisions shall be promptly forwarded to the VPRED.
   5. The VPRED will assess all reports, 麻豆精品视频 IRB determinations, actions, and requests for assistance and provide for any appropriate institutional intervention necessary to facilitate the action of the 麻豆精品视频 IRB.
   6. The VPRED shall report the decisions and actions of the 麻豆精品视频 IRB, discussed in this section, to appropriate federal officials, pertinent research personnel, the Provost, and other appropriate officials of 麻豆精品视频, as required by law or 麻豆精品视频 policy. Such reporting shall take place within seven (7) calendar days from the date of notice to the VPRED.
